Like a lion trapped inside a cage
I’ve been held up, trying to feel safe
Like a fire just starting to burn
Red hot lightning glowing in the dirt
If I raise my voice
Say what’s true
Stand my ground
Here with you
If I take the risk
Make the jump
I better clear the wall
Cuz I’m about to bet my life on it
I’m about to bet my life on it
Believe in every word, every word of it
I’m about to bet my life on it
Pressure building running through my blood
Still my heartbeat, let go of my tongue
Once I walk out on that limb alone
The choice is made & cannot be undone
I could just give up
Look for something new
I could turn around
Not see it through
But I know myself
All too well
& I couldn’t live with that
Oh I’m about to bet my life on it
I’m about to bet my life on it
Believe in every word, every word of it
I’m about to bet my life on it
Gonna bet my life, gonna bet my life
Gonna bet my life, gonna bet my life
